Chilli question
I have removed 3 chilli plants from my greenhouse and potted them to bring
into the house. They are around 5 feet tall and so take up a lot of room. Should I/can I prune them in any way? If so, how? Any other things I should or shouldn't do to them? Thanks Jonny |

I treat mine as annuals, and thought this was the norm. Once the weather starts to get cold, pull them up and hang upside down in the greenhouse for the foliage to die off and the chillies to ripen.

Chilli question
I've done the same, mine are only about 3feet though, but i had to chop off
quite a few roots in order to fit them in the pot, and they're not looking happy. However i'm hoping they'll survive and indeed start fruiting early next year! I've read they will just continue to fruit if they're in the right place - So possibly a supply over winter too! I've only saved one however as an experiment, i'll grow the rest from seed again next year "Jon" wrote in message ...

Chilli question
Come December, you can prune the plants back quite severely, and next
year, your plants will get off to a flying start, and you'll start getting peppers much sooner in the year than from fresh plants. I have some that are two years old and they're getting quite woody and sturdy. It'll be interesting to see how many years a chilli pepper plant can keep going. I'm currently experimenting with keeping some bellpepper plants indoors over the winter, to see how well they'll produce bellpeppers for a second (or third or fourth) season, regards Ewald Schroder "Jon" wrote in message ...
